Moreover, the troops were divided into two groups. Liu Bei's army went up against the Yangtze River. The front of the soldiers pointed directly at Jiangling City, and at the same time threatened the southern part of Jingzhou, intending to attack Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling counties!

The Jiangdong Army went northward along the Han River, rushed to Xiangyang City, and wanted to capture Nanyang, Nanjun, and Xiangyang County in the north of Jingzhou!

What is even more disturbing is that Shi Xie of Jiaozhou is also ready to make a move, and is secretly gathering troops, intending to get involved in several counties in the southwest of Jingzhou!

How to resist the enemy troops coming from three directions?

Chapter 1327 Regroup and fight again in Jingzhou ([-])

Outside the city of Jiangling - the big tent of the Chinese army, a military meeting is in progress, Feng Ji, Gao Shun, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, chinchilla... are all wearing armor and holding swords, their eyes are fixed on Xiao Yi , but Xiao Yi's ghostly eyes fell on a map of Jingzhou!

10,000+ Sun and Liu's coalition army marched westward, all the way against the Yangtze River to take Jiangling, and all the way to attack Xiangyang along the Han River, like two huge iron fists, smashing hard, hitting the vital areas!

"The enemy is strong and we are weak. There is a big difference. How can we win this battle?"

"The territory is vast and the troops are limited. How should Jingzhou defend itself?"

"Kong Ming is resourceful, Pang Tong is good at making decisions, and Zhou Yu is very good at using troops. If you fight against these powerful people, what chance do you have of winning?"

....................................

Numerous questions lingered in his mind, making Xiao Yi feel tight in his chest and difficult to breathe. It was like carrying a mountain on his back, but he had to straighten his back and resist the pressure. He was the backbone of the army, so he must not show any timidity!

The enemy attacked and defended by himself, but there were too few troops in hand, and Jingzhou's territory was too large. If you prepare left and right, you will be empty. If you prepare everywhere, then you will be empty everywhere.

"The enemy is strong and we are weak, so it's hard to beat the enemy. If you dare to ask Mr. Wen He, if there is a way to turn the world around, please don't hesitate to teach me a thing or two!"

Xiao Yi clasped his fists and bowed towards the dark place, the 'poison man' Jia Xu stood there, his whole body was gloomy, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright, he was the only one not wearing armor in the entire Chinese army tent !

"I don't dare to take the word "enlightenment", since Da Sima asked, I have a few stupid suggestions, which may be of some use:

First of all: It is difficult to fight with one person, but easy to fight with two people. If we want to win this battle, we must dismantle the alliance between Sun and Liu.

Secondly, Jingzhou has a vast territory, and our army has limited strength. If we divide our forces to defend, we will be defeated by the enemy one by one. It is better to concentrate our forces and defend the key points!

In the end, the city is dead, and the people and horses are alive. It is better to save people and lose the city than to save the city and lose the people. If you want to turn the world around, you must know the word "willing to"! "

Jia Xuxian's strategy is as low-key, practical, and vicious as he himself. It looks ordinary, but if it is bitten, it will definitely bite into the bone!

In addition, the poisonous man only makes suggestions and never imposes interference. Anyway, everything that should be said has been said. How much you listen depends on the commander's heart, and how much you do depends on the commander's ability!

"Be willing, be willing, you will gain if you give up. The more you give up today, the more you will get tomorrow. Mr. Wen He has a good opinion. This Da Sima has been taught!"

Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled, clasped his fists and saluted Jia Xu again, most of the cloud in his heart dissipated, and the strategy and tactics were determined: "Take a big step back in exchange for a big step forward!" '

"The enemy army is approaching fiercely. It is difficult for us to resist. It is better to avoid the edge for the time being. This Da Sima has decided: abandon Jiangling City and retreat to Xiangyang City!

All the ministries prepared a lot of vehicles, set off the day after tomorrow, and took away all the money, food, and ordnance in the city, leaving nothing to the big-eared thief! "

"Abandon the city and go - promise!"

After the military order was issued, all the generals were amazed. They have been fighting with Da Sima for many years. They have always charged against the enemy and won bloody battles. They have never abandoned the city to escape?

What's more, Jiangling has a large population and a rich place, known as the "money bag" of Jingzhou. It is incredible that such an important city was handed over to Liu Beijun for nothing?

But the military order was like a mountain, no one dared to disobey it, one after another went down to prepare, some people also secretly speculated that Da Sima has always used soldiers like a god, and abandoning Jiangling City without fighting this time, maybe he is digging a trap again?

Next, the city of Jiangling became lively. Like locusts, several teams ransacked the treasury everywhere. Gold, silver, food, ordnance, cloth, medicinal materials...everything of some value, and everything that could be transported, were all loaded into the car and brought with them. Walk!

During this period, some soldiers suggested privately that there are so many wealthy households in Jiangling City, and they would abandon the city anyway, so it is better to send troops to loot wantonly and get a lot of property!

Now it is the beginning of autumn, the rice outside the city is about to mature, and the army retreats and cannot be harvested. It is better to burn it with a big fire, which will save Liu Beijun!

As soon as this proposal appeared, many soldiers were gearing up, ready to kill and set fire, but Xiao Yi vetoed it with one word, and he personally patrolled the city. If the soldiers dared to loot people's property - kill without mercy!

I gave up Jiangling City because of strategic needs, and I will fight back in the future. If I plunder today, I will indeed get a lot of money, but I will lose the hearts of the people. I will never enter Jiangling City again in the future!

As for the rice outside the city, it would be cheaper for the enemy to keep it, but Jingzhou has been in war for more than a year, and the people have already suffered terribly. Never do it!

"Da Sima's merit is immeasurable! -- Da Sima loves the people like a son!"

........................

Two days later, the army set off for Xiangyang. During the period, there was inevitably some chaos in the city. In order to prevent thieves from causing trouble, Xiao Yi left some low-level officials to maintain the law and order in Jiangling City, and waited for Liu Beijun to come to receive them. !

As the saying goes: The king loves the people like a son, and the people respect the king like a father. Xiao Yi loved Jiangling so much that he won the hearts of the people. , There are countless people kneeling and howling!

Under this situation, the soldiers were all convinced, Da Sima is really brilliant, although he abandoned Jiangling City, he won countless hearts, this deal is not a loss at all!

On the way of marching, Xiao Yi issued another military order: "Let the prefects of Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling counties, lead the troops of the headquarters, and the money and food in the treasury, come to Xiangyang City to meet up quickly!" '

"Is this really Da Sima's order? The land and cities of the three counties were all given to the big-eared thief for nothing?"

"There are a total of nine counties in Jingzhou, and three of them were given away at random. Changsha County is a fiefdom of the Xiao family, and they also gave up together?"

..........................................

After the news came out, there was an uproar in the army. Some people were puzzled, some were surprised, and some people firmly opposed it. They wanted to collectively persuade Da Sima. Only Jia Xu didn't say a word, and secretly raised his thumbs!

Although the city is the foundation of the king and hegemony, it is also a heavy burden. Liu Bei won Jiangling City and the land of the three counties, so he must divide his troops to garrison.

What's more, Liu Bei's power is relatively weak. Now that he has obtained the territory of three counties, he needs to appoint officials, appease the people, and collect taxes... There is no four or five months to digest this "big fat", in other words, half a year Inside, it is difficult for the Liu Bei Group to make a big move!

The Shixie Group in Jiaozhou is also eyeing the southern part of Jingzhou. Let Liu Bei get the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling, which will inevitably conflict with the Baiyue tribe.

Using the land of three counties to tie Liu Bei firmly, Xiao Yi can concentrate his strength to deal with Zhou Yu's Jiangdong Army.

..................................................................

"What - Cao Jun abandoned the city and retreated towards Xiangyang. Could it be Xiao Yi's trick again?"

"Order all the soldiers: stop advancing, stay where you are, and prepare for defense, especially be careful of night attacks!"

"promise!"

Liu Bei's army, with tens of thousands of horses, went up against the current, advancing both by land and water, and had already approached the outskirts of Jiangling City. When they suddenly learned that Xiao Yi had abandoned the city, everyone was shocked!

And Liu Bei's first reaction was not to rush into the city to seize the city, but to stop all the troops from advancing, and quickly changed the original offensive formation to defensive, like a frightened bird!

It's no wonder that Liu Bei is too timid, it's because Xiao Yi suffered too many losses in the previous confrontation, which has left a deep shadow in his heart. I'm afraid this is another trap, waiting for him to jump into it!

Kong Ming, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu were also in deep thought. Jiangling City is extremely rich, known as Jingzhou's money bag, and its strategic location is also extremely important. They thought there would be a fierce battle, but they didn't want to leave an empty city!

Others abandoning the city may be due to cowardice, but Xiao Yi abandoning the city is another matter. Could it be that he used Jiangling City as a bait to surround and annihilate tens of thousands of his own troops? ?

"I will respectfully invite Uncle Liu Huang to enter the city, and I will send you a letter!"

"The things for the labor force are ready, please don't hurt the people of the Li people!"
